It's all good.

Hi,
I have battled alcohol and drug addiction since the age of 14. At one point I did use Suboxone to get off opiates and it helped. It also helped with cravings in general, however this is a medication that can not be just stopped. It has to be tapered down or the withdrawals are terrible. The only thing I have found that has worked for me is AA. AA is not for everyone, however I find that the companionship and like minds of those in the meetings, helping me when I was in the dregs of hell, saved my life. If want to talk further, reach out to me if you would like. I was in treatment 4 times from the age of 14 years old. I would stay sober and then inevitably, I would relapse and was back to the races. This last relapse lasted 8 years. I am in recovery and have gotten through some of the hardest, most painful times of my life and did not drink. That is crazy to me as I drank longer than I have ever been sober. Hang in there.
